    Why do we have to say the same thing every single time we make a build video? These are not the highest DPS builds. Highest DPS is optimal for speedruns. But speedrunners abandon the quest when they get hit once or one shotted since they only go offensive and risky which if fine if you are doing speedruns for UA-cam. But highest DPS builds are worth nothing if you get one shotted because no Health Boost. We will always recommend builds that can be played comfortably and this will never change on our channel. Many of our viewers understand that 100% but some still don't. For those that don't here once again. Highest damage numbers in the training area on the pole are nice. But the pole doesn't attack you. Monsters do. So we go a few % lower dmg but are safe and this is what comes out on top most of the time. For everyone that wants to farm the training pole, this video might not be for you. For everyone else, hope you enjoyed that video. It took quite some time since we always deliver quality content and we're excited to produce more with Iceborne coming to PC soon!

      Speaking of DPS, how much would ~2 effective element really effect per arrow damage in the end? I messed about with Honey's builder to make these builds more in line with my own preferences and found a Velkhanamielle set which loses to the TCE set I would personally run by about ~2 EFE while gaining Divine Blessing 3, Stamina Surge 3 and Heat Guard. Personally I think this would be a worthy trade off since I'm not a speedrunner and this would be way comfier to play with. Although both these sets do require pretty godly decos to run.

    These builds are great though they lack some of the newer things that have come out since the video was made. I Updated the build for 2024, if anyone is interested it is All Safi elemental bows speced in the same way as the video with the elemental awakens, Silver Rathalos Essence, and Augments. Silver Rathalos B Helmet, Chest and Arms. Fatalis A Waist. Raging Brachydios B Legs. For the decorations you will need the Expert Jewel+ 4 and the elemental attack up Jewel in the bow. Helmet needs another Expert Jewel+ 4 and a Spread Jewel. Chest needs a Shaver Jewel. Arms will need a Critical/Vitality Jewel and Mighty Bow Jewel. Waist is Fortitude/Physique Jewel, Forceshot Jewel, and Spread Jewel. Legs needs a Physique Jewel+ 4 and two Vitality Jewels. Charm will be the maxed out elemental charm that goes with your bow.
    If you don't have the second Expert Jewel+ 4 for the helmet, just slot in any Expert jewel you have. You won't have 100% affinity but you'll have 95% affinity which shouldn't be a big deal since this updated set had Crit boost 3 and shaver for good up time of soften parts which should make up for not having max Affinity.
    If you are missing some of the rarer decorations, I recommend doing the Mew are Number One Event quest since you can get some of the decorations required for this set. I would definitely say that this would be considered a Pro+ Build since you need to have beaten Fatalis and Raging Brachydios and have some very rare decorations. Though if you can build it it is fairly comfortable. Good Luck and happy hunting!

      I find affinity very confusing. If I'm not wrong, it increases your chance of getting 25% more damage in your attack. For bows, works in a arrow basis. So if you hit a monster with a bow, each arrow has a chance of getting 25% more damage. Confusing af

    Also the budget pro etc builds are great ideas. Loved it. Most players don’t have time to farm decos. I’m sure those builds help them a lot but for players like myself it gives me an idea of what to shoot for on my builds.
    I chose a blast bow, thinking it was the right choice given how much damage blast does but it seems that I may have made a mistake in my bow choice. I was sad to see only one blast build in this video. I still would give the video a 5 star rating though.

      I've done it and you just have to spend a lot of time and quit if it goes south since it doesn't save as long as you are still with the smithy. What I can suggest you is to roll it for first: get your weapon of choice and slam in a defense 1 or other lv 1 awakening that you won't need in order to keep the awakened level low thus requiring less points for the next awakening skill, roll it when it's low level so you will have more rolls for your tries and yes, that's the best way I've found out. I still need to grind for the water bow though..

    If you are going to utilize silver rath essence for an awakened ability, why not use two piece Namielle with 4 piece TCE? Are there no decos you can farm to make that perform better? Nami has a host of built ins that help bow, is it just not possible to guarantee 100% crit with it? And separately, do you think the loss of the 60 element from one Element up V as opposed to silver rath essence is worth the trade for the better utility? I personally like the utility, I'm just wondering

    I do not use that bow right now anyway because Alatreon's bow took its place. The coatings are nice.

      It’s a couple damage less per arrow, but is ways easier to optimize than 5 ele awakens while being more comfy. None of theses builds are max damage builds, besides maybe the blast build. Haven’t awakened that bow yet. Fire bow build gets way better with the silver rath alpha gear too. If you’re interested in the max damage builds and have the decos for it, check out Phemetos video. I’d personally recommend sre for casual runs though.

      The silver rathalos set, if you separate it from its skill set, is very bad, so removing the imposition of one of its pieces gives space to greater versatility when equipping the character.
      The same goes for master touch that gives you room to remove the belt and use something else if you choose to use a weapon without nitro.

Put a Phoenix/something else in the free lvl 4 and move the tenderizer to the free lvl 2. Blight resist lvl 2 makes coalescence proc easier, and since all the things you can use the blast bow set against apply a blight this works out better for more damage.

Put health bonus on mantles (inmunity and flying mantles that have 30 sec. between them). You dont need to sacrifice anything in order to have the offensive skills and health boost this way. It uses normal shot and spread lv1, critical boost lv1(3 with flying mantle; vitality/critical jewel x2). Also has full slinger capacity, critical eye lv7, elemental attack boost lv6, weaknesd exploit lv3, mighty bow, and constitution lv5/4 to have health boost lv3/2 at will, changing a single lv4 jewel, the one health/tenderizer or vitality/tenderizer, and using mantles. There is no need for temporal mantle or rocksteady mantle with bows. It is just waste of time and resources. Using mantles for health boost in bows as may not seem, is truly comfortable since inmunity mantle and flying mantle recovery time are short with a long effect durability.
